The Ohlsdorfer Friedhof is the largest cemetery in Europe and has its own infrastructure, such as its own bus stops and road network. The use of the streets by bike is officially approved, but you have to be careful not to overtake any funeral procession! In addition, some of the access gates will be closed overnight. You should keep this in mind if the tour takes longer in summer.

Fuhlsbüttel Lock

Highlight • Structure

... or the lock, which is actually a weir. In 2011, the 100-year-old lock system was demolished for security reasons and replaced by a new building. A little bit, I still mourn the small lock keeper's house, which has given way to a functional new building, but overall the new building has succeeded. Now there is a fish ladder and sitting steps where you can enjoy the last rays of the evening sun - if it shines. ;) Canoes can be transported via a boat slip system between the upper and lower reaches.

In addition, despite conversion, the hydropower plant commissioned in 2000 was preserved. The Alster generates electricity for around 200 households here. An information board informs interested technology fans.

The Fuhlsbüttler lock separates the canalized Alster Unterlauf from the unpaved upper course. In the wide dammed basin between the lock and Ratsmühlenbrücke, the man of the Alster has put his stamp on his last time, after which he is free and moves largely in their natural bed. Here begins the natural and green part of the Alster.

"The human being", whose work one sees here, is - one observes on the dark red clinker - course Oberbaudirektor Fritz Schumacher. The complex along with the parallel blocks of flats on the Woermannsweg and Justus-Strandes-Weg goes back to his designs.
